Inches yes! lbs no?

(You've tried everything else; why not try bacon?) #21

You can increase your fat by cooking with bacon grease, butter, lard, tallow, coconut oil. Put butter and cheese on everything. I put butter on my cheese, yum! Switch from milk to heavy cream, buy chicken with the skin still on, roast a pork shoulder (it comes with its own layer of fat), you get the idea.

Oh yeah two slices of chees with butter between. My kinda sandwich!

As everyone in here is saying:
You’re doing great!
You want your weight loss to show on the scales, I get it. I do too!
And my initial process was very similar to yours; my pant wouldn’t stay up anymore, my jacket was getting bigger, I felt GREAT! But my weight wouldn’t budge for a long, long time. Well, I lost 20 pounds over course of ten weeks, but that was hardly as great a result as I had hoped, seeing as the keto diet is praised for its efficiency.
I figured something had to be done. I scoured the internet for something I could add to my keto.
And I stumbled upon OMAD. One Meal A Day. It turned out to be the key.
I’m not going into the specifics here, but it means that you fast for around 22 hours a day and you eat all of your food within the remaining 2-hour window.
It may sound insane, but when you’re already on keto, it’s easier than you think. Plus it comes with an array of health benefits.
Go on YouTube and search keto omad, and you’ll find everything you need.
I especially watch Thomas DeLaur’s videos. He has a great take on the keto IF deal.

I was just explaining OMAD to my husband. And the science behind it. If we limit our insulin response to one three hour event once a day, even if we eat ~2000 calories in that one meal, then during the rest of the day our insulin response is gone and our bodies are burning fat. Like a lot of women I am stuck and feel that 24 hour fasts or OMAD will help.

That’s true, but it’s also true that it’s very hard to get 2000 calories into one meal. Many like me can only do about 1000 tops. And for that reason, some experts say to avoid doing OMAD long term as it’s actually calorie restrictive and can lower your metabolism.

I used it 1 or possibly 2 times a week only, and only as a bridge to be able to do EF.
